ARLINGTON, Texas - Los Angeles (Calif.) Venice wide receiver Gabriel Marks was the most impressive pass-catcher on the first day of practice for the Offense-Defense Bowl. The 6-foot, 175-pound senior is showing why he is a four-star prospect and ranked as the No. 119 overall player in the country.

On the recruiting front Marks had committed to SMU a few months back, surprising many people by choosing the Conference USA program. However, his recruiter Adrian Klemm recently left SMU for UCLA and Marks decided to de-commit from the Mustangs.
